Annotations on generic constructors

[John Spicer]

javac accepts this usage:

import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
@Target(ElementType.TYPE_USE)
@interface T { }
class X {
  <P> @T X() { }
}

but that seems to be prohibited by the constructor declaration syntax, which only allows annotations before the TypeParameters.

Should this case be rejected?
